- In this episode it shows the beginning of another motorcycle tour. This time we are based in Cresswell, Northumberland specifically Cresswell Towers holiday park another Park Dean site.
This one just shows us arriving at the site, booking in and gives you a look around the 8 berth caravan that will be our home base for the week we were there for.
At the end of the video I send up the DJI Mavic Pro drone to give you an aerial view of the whole Campsite and surrounding area.
There are plenty of video's to follow showing us riding the routes I had adapted mainly from the Simon Weir Biker's Britain books with some amazing roads and scenery to be seen.

Tucker we were so lucky as when we came back was about the time it started to rain and rain and rain, this years been really poor weather wise my friend. this was a good one fella.
Good to see you and the team back on the road.
There's some fantastic riding in that area. Shame you cannot park the bikes next to the van, always nice to keep an eye on them.
Great drone footage.

Good to see you in my neck of the woods! It was interesting to see inside the Cresswell Towers site - I've been past it so many times and only seen the outside and the Tower. I know how good the roads are so I'm looking forward to seeing your reaction.
Keith you are so lucky to live in that area I think you know what out reactions going to be 😀 simply stunning scenery and great roads my friend.
Just watching your Northumberland tour now .
Looks excellent .
I'm off on the nc500 next Saturday can't wait .
Clive have a great tour my friend you'll love it.
Never realized it was so beautiful up there until that 'Vera' detective thing started on the telly way back when. Looking forward to this series, hope it was a while ago before we got all this bloomin rain!!!
We were lucky Paul the weather wasn't to bad and all routes planned were ridden my friend.
@@Steve-Clark Good to hear Steve! I was due to be in North Yorkshire for the second week in July and knocked it on the head due to a combination of a problem I had getting some fork seals replaced, and the forecast was rain pretty much guaranteed every day. If it was as bad there as it was at home, I made the right call, for me at least. Glad it all turned out well for you guys. Site looks nice (apart from the parking...I could tell you weren't too chuffed! 🙂 Lesson learnt for next time maybe? So much to think about booking a tour... van not quite so 'roomy' as the last one to my eyes....
@@paullee6663 van still plenty big enough Paul but was a little smaller, wasn't chuffed at first with parking ha ha but ended up being quite close to van in the end 🤣
@@Steve-Clark I did my first trip abroad on the bike in 2018 and stayed in a hotel recommended by Teapotone near Potes and rode out from there. I never even thought about security being a problem,, but I did take a disclock and a D Lock and a lightweight bike cover. I did a 'proper' tour in 2019 to the furthest point west in Spain.. Finiestera (Over 2K miles all in) I stayed in major towns mainly, (Gijon, Santiago de Compostella, Leon, etc) one of my major considerations on where to stay was secure parking for the bike ...I even left most the luggage on the bike in two hotels and was able to take just an overnight bag into the hotel. I was booked on the ferry to Spain for 2020...but we all know how that ended. 🙁 I recently priced it for September, but it's over £1K 😯😲...but that's OK.... as it's already 'Full' ...🤔
New adventure ! Looking forward to it >>
Nice roads and scenery to follow John and some fun my friend.
Great you are back touring, great vid as usual. We did the Northumberland 250 last year, some great roads up there, looking forwards to seeing where you go.
Thanks David think you'll recognise some of the roads we rode then, hope you enjoy my friend.
So good to see the Boys on Tour again Steve, I must say that Muzzy has a cracking tan, has he been on holiday to Cleethorpes again?. Looking forward to the tour mate, and the banter and cutting remarks, nice to see you back Steve, stay safe mate, Regards Bazza
To much time on the golf course Mussy, tans as soon as he looks at sun lol, plenty to follow Bazza mate.
Nice to see you back Steve. …..

Looking forward to seeing your trip.
All the best
G.
Some good routes to follow George, this was a cracking tour my friend.
If you had kept straight instead of turning right and going up the hill you would have come to a roundabout then turned right you would have come to the junction where you turned right at the top of the hill, You came up the old road the new one is to the left about 200 yards away. My old stamping grounds! Especially the Plough Inn!!!
Yeah found that out as the days went by and the Plough sure have some good ales.
Great stuff Steve!
Cheers 4 more in this series my friend
Good to see you back on the Road Steve and sharing another great video. The drone footage was awesome, well done you, let's wait for the next ones then! 👍👍
Good series coming up fella even if I do say so myself ha ha ENJOY !!!!
Good to see you back Steve, hope you and the boys have a great time 👍🏍🏁
Back now John but some good episodes to follow my friend.
Good start to your holiday. The drone footage at the end of the video was epic and the music really match the visual 👌 looking forward to seeing the rest of your tour 😊
This was a cracking tour fella with some great roads and scenery as you'll see in future episodes my friend.

I'm just a mile up the road ! Weird seeing my Village and local roads. Looking forward to the rest of the videos and to hear what you thought. Hope you all had a great time and the weather was kind, it makes a massive difference.
Lucky you fella its beautiful up there, hope you enjoy the series my friend.
you sounded gutted Steve when she said you can't park near the van but im sure your bikes will be fine. enjoy
The bikes were fine Bob its just we have always had them next to the van where we can see them usually lol.
Hi Steve, it's good to see you all back. Looking forward to the rest of tour mate. Have you got any other trips planned this year?
Think you'll enjoy the series Craig and we have had to cancel a couple of things due to weather being rain rain and more rain, has to be the worst year for biking in years.
Gosh they're a hard bunch to please, critiquing your navigation skills and the fact you were filming the living quarters for the week. I hope they're happier when you go exploring, I'm hoping for a bit of crack as you ride around. I have no doubt at all Mozzy won't let us down in that department 😉😂
Ha ha your right the work I put in to these tours and there's the thanks eh 🤣the following routes we did were really good as you'll see my friend, stay tuned fella 👍
Good to see you back mate
Glad you got away when you did not now. Been really hindering this year with bad weather for me and not being able to get out.
Are you planning on doing the Northumberland 250?
Weather has been bad July and beginning Aug hasn't it, we didn't do the 250 but did do some amazing routes with the aid of my Simon Weir books, stay tuned my friend.
Hi Steve .Safe riding all looking forward to watching the tour . Im thinking of getting a drone for when touring . What model are you using ?
This was a good one Ian and as far as drone goes mine is a bit of a dinosaur its the DJI Mavic Pro.
Has Muzz been to a ‘Tanning’ Studio …🤔…& did you let him play in the Kiddie Park
Watching for 2nd time around …We’re doing variation of Northumberland 250 & Yours
Thanks for sharing …Big Help for our trip
( Staying on same site too) 👍
🤣😂 Mussy only has to look at the sun and boom TAN. Hope you have a great trip Paul it's an amazing area and the campsite is spot on fella, if ya get chance try the Drift Cafe round the corner ish they do a great full English 👍 ride safe lads
@@Steve-Clark
Will do Steve & deffo Cafe
that’s my mam on reception but not the one you were talking to 🤣🤣
She's famous now Maisee lol
I see no towers ;-)
Ha ha they maybe blew over lol
It's named after the newly restored Pele tower on the edge of the site grounds. It's just visible on the drone shots ( if you know what your looking at 👌) there are also the ruins of Cresswell hall and stables at the other end of the site.
@@gefrinjim6803 thanks for that info 👍
Thought I was watching a Simon Whistler channel with that new intro music Steve 😂
Ha ha just thought i would rock it up a bit, hope you enjoy the series Rich
